Vishnu Sahasra Naama 09 1 vi ṣṇ u sahasra nāma stōtram Śrī viṣṇ u sahasra nāma stōtram Guru Pūr ṇimā (2009) prasād Publisher Avadhoota Datta Peetham SGS Ashrama, Datta Nagara, Mysore 570025 Copies available at: Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple 12030, Independence Parkway Drive, Frisco, Texas 75035 2 vi ṣṇ u sahasra nāma stōtram Fore Word by Sri Swamiji Jaya Guru Datta Sri Guru Datta Human spiritual journey is towards Godhead. The Vishnu principle pervades everywhere. The 18 Puranas speak about this principle. Mahabharata is the essence of the 18 Puranas. Mahabharata explains two paths – Jnana (Knowledge) and Bhakthi (Devotion). Bhagavadgeeta represents Jnana. The Bhakthi principle is represented by Vishnu Sahasranama. The question of importance among Bhakthi and Jnana was there in Mahabharata also. The Vishnu Sahasranama came as an answer to that question. In this, every name of Lord Vishnu is a Maha-Mantra. In these Maha Mantras, we find that Bhakthi and Jnana go together. That is the reason, why Vishnu sahasranama is chanted both by saints and Samsaris (house-holders) ? Chanting or listening to Vishnu Sahasranama brings peace. It also brings great knowledge. My mother and my Guru Jayalakshmi Matha was a great Krishna devotee. She chanted Vishnu Sahasranama daily. She taught Vishnu Sahasranama to me in my childhood. The blessings I received from her in the form of Vishnu Sahasranama is now given to you all. Sing along with Swamiji! Feel the happiness I feel while chanting!!!

Ltd, Ahmedabad Dedicated to • My Parents Shri Jaydevbhai Vyas & Shrimati Dakshaben Vyas Preface This work is an attempt to discuss a scientific perspective in International Relations Theory which exists since ages but never discussed at length. It is an interdisciplinary work to establish relationship between Indian Advait Philosophy and International Relations Theory. When I was writing my doctoral thesis, I was reading some works of Maharishi Ved Vyas and commentaries based on his work in Advait philosophy. Whatever, I read there, I felt it is something that has not been worked on in International Relations and there is a scope to write in interdisciplinary theory in International Relations. Above all, after reading the theories of International Relations I realized that I cannot relate my thoughts and actions with any of the existing perspectives and the extremes observed everywhere around. So it led me to write about this parity vision. I see its relevance in contemporary times as some of the actions and events that occur in the world can be viewed and analyzed with parity vision.

Locklin Office: Odette Hall 130 Phone: 416.926.1300, x3317 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: T 10:10-12 noon and by chance or appointment Email Policy: I will attempt to respond to legitimate email enquiries from students within 3-4 days. If you do not receive a reply within this period, please re-submit your question(s) and/or leave a message by telephone. Where a question cannot be easily or briefly answered by email, I will indicate that the student should see me during my posted office hours. Course Description This seminar explores the claim of diverse Christian traditions in South Asia to be religious traditions of South Asia, with special attention to these traditions’ indigenisation and social interactions with majority Hindu traditions. Our study will begin with an overview of the historical development of Christianity in India from the first century CE to the present. In a second unit, we move to close readings of three major theological articulations for and against an indigenous South Asian Christianity: M.M. Thomas, Ram Swarup and Sathianathan Clarke. Finally, our attention will turn to the concept of “ritual dialogue” in Christian practice and the ethnographic study of Christian communities in India. Most of our attention will be focused on Christian traditions in South India, but students are encouraged to choose topics related to Christianity in other parts of India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and/or Bhutan for their research papers.

  • Śaivism After the Śaiva
    religions Article Saivism´ after the Saiva´ Age: Continuities in the Scriptural Corpus of the Vıram¯ ahe´svaras¯ Elaine M. Fisher Religious Studies, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA; [email protected] Abstract: This article makes the case that V¯ıra´saivismemerged in direct textual continuity with the tantric traditions of the Saiva´ Age. In academic practice up through the present day, the study of Saivism,´ through Sanskrit sources, and bhakti Hinduism, through the vernacular, are gener- ally treated as distinct disciplines and objects of study. As a result, V¯ıra´saivismhas yet to be systematically approached through a philological analysis of its precursors from earlier Saiva´ tra- ditions. With this aim in mind, I begin by documenting for the first time that a thirteenth-century Sanskrit work of what I have called the V¯ıramahe´svaratextual¯ corpus, the Somanathabh¯ a¯s.ya or V¯ıramahe´svar¯ ac¯ aras¯ aroddh¯ arabh¯ a¯s.ya, was most likely authored by Palkurik¯ e˘ Somanatha,¯ best known for his vernacular Telugu V¯ıra´saivaliterature. Second, I outline the indebtedness of the early Sanskrit and Telugu V¯ıramahe´svaracorpus¯ to a popular work of early lay Saivism,´ the Sivadharma´s´ astra¯ , with particular attention to the concepts of the jangama˙ and the is..talinga˙ . That the V¯ıramahe´svaras¯ ´ borrowed many of their formative concepts and practices directly from the Sivadharma´sastra¯ and other works of the Saiva´ Age, I argue, belies the common assumption that V¯ıra´saivismoriginated as Citation: Fisher, Elaine M.. 2021. a social and religious revolution.

    Om: One God Universal A Garland of Holy Offerings * * * * * * * * Viveka Leads To Ānanda VIVEKNANDA KENDRA PATRIKĀ Vol. 22 No. 2: AUGUST 1993 Represented By Murari and Sarla Nagar Truth is One God is Truth . God is One Om Shanti Mandiram Columbia MO 2001 The treasure was lost. We have regained it. This publication is not fully satisfactory. There is a tremendous scope for its improvement. Then why to publish it? The alternative was to let it get recycled. There is a popular saying in American academic circles: Publish or Perish. The only justification we have is to preserve the valuable contents for posterity. Yet it is one hundred times better than its original. We have devoted a great deal of our time, money, and energy to improve it. The entire work was recomposed on computer. Figures [pictures] were scanned and inserted. Diacritical marks were provided as far as possible. References to citations were given in certain cases. But when a vessel is already too dirty it is very difficult to clean it even in a dozen attempts. The original was an assemblage of scattered articles written by specialists in their own field. Some were extracted from publications already published. It was issued as a special number of a journal. It needed a competent editor. Even that too was not adequate unless the editor possessed sufficient knowledge of and full competence in all the subject areas covered.

Some people eye in the middle of the forehead and the purple neck gleaming like bring down even God to the level of a beggar. When the sheen of a blackberry. He wears serpent bracelets and a snake their desires are fulfilled they eulogise God. They pray, belt, His entire body is smeared with Vibhuti, His forehead is “Oh God, I will offer You cash or in kind if You fulfil adorned with a Kumkum dot, his ruddy lips glow with the juice of my desires.” the betel, diamond-studded gold earrings dangle from His ears and God is not poor and hence, people created by Him His whole swarthy body glows with divine effulgence. ca nn ot al so be p oo r. It is m a n wh o m ake s be gg ar s o ut (Telugu poem) of his fellowmen and ill-treats them. Such low and mean practices should be given up.
